The road closes in the fall and opens each spring or summer. Rangers reported there was still some snow on the road from this weekend’s storm, but that the road is open all the way to Evanston, Wyoming. Another of the area’s seasonal roads, S.R. 224 over Guardsman Pass from Park City to Big Cottonwood Canyon, remained closed. A Utah Department of Transportation official said maintenance crews are monitoring and assessing the road and they’re hoping the snowpack that’s covering sections near the top of the pass will melt naturally within the next week or two.

Deputies did not find the vehicle at any of the open campsites, but the next day, the man called a friend to pick him up after being locked out of his vehicle overnight. A 36-year-old Echo man was found dead by his uncle around 7:45 a.m. Deputies were notified by medical personnel on scene that the man was obviously deceased, but the cause of death is not known.

After interviewing both, deputies arrested the man as the primary aggressor and found a container of marijuana oil when they searched him. He was booked into jail on suspicion of domestic violence assault in the presence of children.
